Bible Chronology of the Old Testament

The following chronological list is adapted from The Chronological Bible. Its purpose is to help you develop an overall understanding of the order of the major people and events of the Bible. The dates are disputed here and there; but overall, they can give you a reference in time and order.

The Reign of King Solomon 985 - 945 B. C.

The Divided Kingdom (Israel and Judah) From Solomon to the Fall of Israel 945 - 586 B. C.

The nation of Israel divided into two: Israel
to the north and Judah to the south. This period
was full of kings, who ruled each realm. Many of
the kings were evil. Other gods were worshiped
occasionally. During this time Elijah has his
ministry. Hosea preached. Jonah dealt with
Nineveh. Rome was founded. The temple was
restored.
